I don't doubt that at all. Plenty of unopened boxes left to explore.
I'm very much not trying to be difficult or challenge a milk spot scenario, but if it was the result of an improper rinse of the planchet then why...
It would be interesting to find out how these sets were assembled back in their day. How much was done by hand and what part was automated. It...
At this point I could see no harm in at least trying acetone on the coins. If this stuff is organic it should dissolve. Did this happen to other...
Never seen this myself. Looks like spilled paint.
It does appear to me to be a well formed die chip.
You can also do some research at Brian's Variety Coins. Brian Ribar specializes in nickels.
ANACS will attribute the different stages as long as they are correctly attributed by you. They will charge a research fee if you have not done so...
After all the ribbing he has gotten on his book here.....;)
I guess we would have to go back to the word anomaly. Exactly what is this anomaly? Could you provide pics? If not an error/variety any given die...

I find them on a regular basis when I search mixed roll bank boxes. Probably have a couple hundred saved up. But I'm yet to find a Shield cent...
I thought about that but he has had an overall attitude problem in general since he started there. He can be very rude at times and loves to smash...
The rest were gone by the time I got there. I've finally gotten this quirky cashier to be on the lookout for me of anything that looked out of the...
I would hope not like the nickel. But yes, very small palette to work with so not so sure they would do a really good job. If done by an...
Keep it clean y'all :rolleyes: Got these today at my local X-Mart convenience store. Nice and crisp, a little off centered but keepers. The clerk...
From my vantage point it looks like the 1 took a hit from the bottom and shoved it upwards.
If they did it would likely be too expensive and partnered up with a series of them. I hope not as the Mint is already producing too much over...
The acetone will not damage it but if you are uncomfortable with a volatile chemical then best stay away from it. It requires good ventilation and...
